Wednesday’s Food for Thought: MyPlate

MyPlate is a simpler version of the Food Pyramid, encouraging Americans to consume more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy. To break it down, the USDA is recommending that at each meal your plate looks like this: 1/2 fruits and/or vegetables, 1/4 lean protein, 1/4 grain (preferably whole), with a side of dairy (cup of milk, piece of low fat cheese, serving of yogurt).
